Sounds like you have a middle ear infection. If during your flu, you were blowing your nose a lot or sneezing vigorously, the contaminated material you cough up, sneeze out and/or blow out from your nose can be forced up through tubes that connect your middle ears to the back of your throat. These tubes, when working properly, ensure that the pressure in the air around you is the same as in your middle ear, so that your eardrums don't get over-stretched or ruptured.
These infections generally respond well to antibiotics that only a doctor can prescribe for you. Usually you just put drops in each ear, but if you have a severe case, the doc may also prescribe an antibiotic pill
